Iron-war is a fascinating book. Dave Scott is/was an odd fish for sure. Considering the lack of knowledge and lack of bike technology back then, the times those guys got were insane. Mark Allen would still hold the run split record if they'd had timing mats back then.

yeah this. It's only an issue when you're talking to others about numbers. My mate had a ridiculously high FTP, like elite level which I was curious about, because he's no gun on the bike, he then upgraded his PM and his FTP dropped 150W!
